Anyone using yeast in their soil?

I’m ready to start a run indoors and plan on using soil with dry amendments. I’ve heard of using yeast in the initial soil mix and need some specifics. My understanding is there are basically 2 kinds of yeast….active nutritional yeast and Brewers yeast.
I plan on running 3 or 4 plants in my 2.5’x6’ space under a HLG 320 r-spec QB. I was thinking of making at least 2 different soil varieties and using yeast in one of them.
Which one should I use and am I OK with mixing it in dry??
Thanks for the help.

What is your end goal; or what do you expect that yeast will bring to the table?

We know they're good with B vitamins, and when alive they produce CO2, but they would do that in the root zone and probably not enough to have any noticeable CO2 benefit.

I was following the Fox Farms Ocean Forest thread and @Buddsbuddha suggested using it in one of his recipes.
Although I think it was being added to the soil mix days before and allowed to do its thing….whatever that is.
